Halloween

I was asked to do a Halloween show for the Weston Library this year. With the help of staff and volunteers we put together a Reader's Halloween with stories, jokes and a costume contest.

With a donation of cardboard boxes from Home Depot I created a cardboard set.

After the show I put the set up in my driveway for Halloween.

The set had a built in Shadow Screen.

Shot in my driveway under a flash to show the details. On the right side of the set, the door opens and has two panels that also open. Next to that is a shadow screen. Then a hand puppet stage has a slight thrust and a playboard. The skull under the playboard opens too. The last panel on the left has 2 openings, the top and the rat panel.

The other side of the driveway had the usual group of inflatable and electric monsters.

The Pumpkin Girl - In Progress

It's been such a long time since I've posted anything to this Blog. I'm working on a new shadow show. It's based on a story about a girl who is turned into a pumpkin. Here are a few of the shadow puppets...none are finished but I had them in the camera and it was a good time for me to upload and post them.

The puppets are made of posterboard, the colors are tissue paper. There is still a way to go on these but ya got ta start somewhere!
